Paul R Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Very interesting! Thanks for posting! Does anyone have any medals from Rawanda in their collections? When were these orders and medals established? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
922F Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Apprently in 2008, the Rwandan government declared Kinyarwanda, English and French all official languages with equal status. The Rwandan official website appears silent on whether these and other decorations are available with reverse inscriptions in Kinyarwanda or French as well as English. .

Megan Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thank you indeed, Ilya! For those who like regulations, they are here: http://www.mod.gov.rw/IMG/pdf/Directives_on_mililtary_Awards_25Apr08_.pdf - mostly about how they should be worn rather than detailing what awards there are & what you get them for, though.
